I-40 / Fortify

The I-40/I-440 “Fortify” rebuild project is an ongoing freeway pavement replacement project in South Raleigh. NCDOT is completely rebuilding 11 miles of pavement along both I-40 / US 64 and I-440 / US 64, extending acceleration lanes between certain I-40 ramps to improve merging on and off the freeway, and preserving selected bridges along I-40 and I-440 to extend their life-span.

Construction is currently underway on I-440 from US 64 / 264 exit to the I-40 interchange in southeast Raleigh.

Work on I-40 is estimated to begin in late 2014 with the project slated for completion August 2016.
